\nCommenting on Joby\u2019s third quarter results, JoeBen Bevirt, founder and CEO<\/strong>, said:<\/p>\n
\n\u201cThis quarter, we made important progress on the fifth and final stage of certification, completing a wide range of \u2018for credit\u2019 testing with the FAA. We significantly increased manufacturing output while improving efficiency, and demonstrated our electric air taxi in key early U.S. markets through the White House-backed eIPP program. Our J208 aircraft also completed what we believe to be the first fully autonomous flight of a civilian aircraft across the United States, and this morning we announced an expansion of our autonomy-focused contracts with the U.S. Air Force to nearly $37 million.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\u201cOur core mission is – and always has been – to bring electric vertical flight to passengers around the world. We designed our aircraft from the ground up for that mission, and our engineering, manufacturing and certification efforts are focused on bringing it to market. The progress we\u2019re making gives me every confidence that Joby will continue to lead the way.\u201d<\/p>\n
Outlook<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJoby\u2019s current outlook incorporates investment toward certification of our eVTOL aircraft, expansion of manufacturing, and advancement of commercial preparations including participation in the U.S. eVTOL Integration Pilot Program. The company increased its full year 2026 total revenue outlook to a range of $135 million to $140 million. For the second half of 2026, Joby anticipates use of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments to be between $385 million and $415 million.<\/p>\n
